One reader suggested going to a university and sign up to use the
net, then try the local library, and then a net cafe.  Try
visiting internet cafes in the morning and early afternoon (not
quite so busy).  You could also ask at your hotel if they have
free internet access. In one of the most isolated place on earth
Easter Island a reader asked about using internet and they pointed
to a corner of the office where there was a machine they could use
free (as I think deluxe Hotels sometimes charge heavy prices
perhaps you might get free access to internet in lower price
places)

Another person said that in Hungary the easiest and least expensive
place to access and send e-mails was Burger King. 

In Spanish speaking countries, to get the @ symbol you hold down
the “alt” key then press 6 and then 4 on the number keyboard (there
is something about the @ key has a couple of other symbols on same
key or something and when pressed nothing happens.
